The glass circa 1750, the round funnel bowl with a prancing horse on a sward and a scrollwork ledge with pendant swags, the rim inscribed 'DE VRYHYD GELYKHYD EN BROEDERSCHAP A 1795' (Liberty, Equality and Fraternity), the stem with an angular knop above a beaded inverted baluster section with a basal knop, on a circular conical foot, 18.6cm high

Provenance
Christie's sale, 3 October 2006, lot 30

The words 'DE VRYHYD' (Liberty) are clearly engraved by a different hand than the rest of the inscription and the date. The engraving of the horse and these two words is likely to be contemporary with the glass, whereas the rest of the inscription and the date are likely to have been later added when the Dutch Republic was invaded by France in 1795.
